I'm using the basic four control wire WLED purchased from Amazon. I'm setting each control wire as its own segment and setting up automations for it. Under home assistant: 1) I don't see segment 0, 2) none of the other segments come on unless I first switch on "main", 3) intensity under HA has no effect on the brightness of the LEDs when controlled from HA. Has anyone seen this?

can you link exactly what it is you have? and explain a bit more how you have it set up?

I'm doing a stairs setup. 5 WLEDs each with 4 control wires to manage 17 steps. Each control wire is its own segment - 54 LEDs each. When looking at HA, segment 0 is missing but I see the rest. When controlling from HA "main" has to be on first before I turn on any of the segments else they don't come on.
Additionally, trying to manage the brightness from the device (not automation) in HA has no affect.
On another note, HA lost my first WLED controller and when I try to add it back it says "unknown error".

- I don't see segment 0,
Home Assistant has a supraising behaviour in the case of segments. See: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues?q=is%3Aissue state%3Aopen label%3A"integration%3A wled"

It is expected. This is the main relay that controls the power supply to the LED strip. It's visible in the UI in the upper left corner. With segment switches, you don't turn off the power; you just set them to off, but the LEDs and IC still receive power. In my case, I wrote an automation that automatically turns the main relay on and off when segments are turned on.
On another note, HA lost my first WLED controller and when I try to add it back it says "unknown error".
Can you enable debug logs for integration and look at the log?
Second idea: In some cases, the WLED device may freeze, which can cause problems with adding it to the HA. It may still light up but not respond to any external requests.

where do I find the log?
